Stu Nahan Obituary
Daughter Kathy Derington said Nahan died Wednesday at his home in Studio City. He had battled lymphoma since being diagnosed in January 2006.
A former minor league hockey goalie, Nahan had been a sports anchor for three different television stations in Los Angeles. He retired from TV in 1999, and most recently did pre- and post-game radio shows for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Among his other jobs, Nahan at one time worked telecasts of the Los Angeles Kings' NHL games.
Nahan was a goalie at McGill College in Montreal and was signed by the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs in 1946. He played for the minor league Los Angeles Monarchs, but his playing career ended when the Monarchs folded in 1952.
He began his broadcasting career in radio, doing play-by-play for a minor league baseball team in Modesto. He began his first nightly sports reports on a Sacramento television station. Nahan also hosted a children's TV program there, as "Skipper Stu." He later moved to Philadelphia, where he was "Captain Philadelphia" on another children's show, and did play-by-play for the NHL's Flyers and the NFL's Eagles.
He returned to California in 1968 and started his long run as a sportscaster in Los Angeles.
In addition to the Rocky films, Nahan also appeared in the film "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and the TV movie "Brian's Song."

Stu was and will always be a GREAT PERSON
Jerry Curtin

Stu was one of my favorites in his years in Philadelphia. He was Captain Philadelphia and sports director for WKBS TV Channel 48. He also did the Flyers hockey games on WKBS. For several years he was Tom Brookshire's broadcast partner on the Eagles CBS games. I also remember him doing the NHL game of the week on CBS while he was in Philadelphia. When he did the Rocky movies, they uusally were set at the Spectrum in PHiladelphia. While he was in LA for a long time, a part of him will always belong to Philadelphia.

I felt a need to have my "Stu" time after talking with two former interns of ours from the KTLA-TV and happened to find this wonderful tribute of Stu. He and I became friends when I was a sportscaster for KTLA-TV and he was with KABC-TV In Los Angeles. He was quite the character and one of the best sportscasters to ever appear on television. Stu asked me to move over to KABC-TV with him in early 1975 and we had two terrific years together before he moved over to KNBC-TV. In 1986 I went back to KTLA and about two years later Stu left NBC and joined us at KTLA-TV where we both stayed until mind 1999. I was lucky to work with this wonderful man for all those years and learned so much from him. He seemed to love everybody and everybody loved Stu. His appearances in the Rocky movies added to his popularity. We teased him because of his love of hockey, the
sport that helped him get into broadcasting where he excelled. Stu was a star goalie in his youth and played so well at McGill University that he was drafted by Toronto, but assigned to the L.A. Monarchs. When Stu's health got worse he still maintained his upbeat attitude and his wife, Sandy, did a remarkable job taking care of this loving generous man. Like so many, I loved Stu Nahan and will do so until my dying day. I miss him so much. To the Nahan Family, thank you for sharing Stu with all of us for so many years.

I used to watch Skipper Stu as a kid in Los Angeles area. Also, as a sportscaster on the News. His daughter, Kathy, went to school with me. RIP Mr. Nahan.

It had been a long time since I had met Stu. I was 2 maybe 3 years old at NBC. He always tried to get me to sit on his lap. He told me he was my uncle, but he was really good friends with my dad Tom Hutcheson. Stu was a great guy. May he rest in peace. Watching Rocky made me think to do a search to see if he was still around. Glad to know he lived a long life.

I knew Mr. Stu Nahan as "Captain Philadelphia". I was a kid in the 1960s, and my brother and I LOVED the Captain! So much that we bugged our parents to get us on the show. Wow! We made it! John and I were on the show! As Captain Philadelphia went around the kids, asking questions, you could hear my annoying voice in the back, chattering away. Finally, Stu said, "Watch this" - went over to me, put the mike in my face, and said, "So what do you have to say, young man?". You guessed it - I clammed up. But a memory of a lifetime there. And so Rocky Balboa and Lil' Jim K were both interviewed by the great Stu Nahan. Thanks for being the special man you were, and I'll always remember you as "Captain".
Casey and I, at our Reseda home.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. I used to be Casey's roommate and co-worker, in Reseda, Ca., with his wife and Scott in Calabasas, which is how I met Stu. He was a great man to know. I was going through photos and found pics of us all hanging out and having karaoke jams at home. Would love to get connected again. If anyone has any way that I can make that possible let me know. email me at [email protected]... Thank you.

I was Stu's cameraman for many years at KNBC (NBC-4)in L.A. I just a few minutes ago learned of his passing. He was a gentleman and a friend. Always willing to give Dodgers tickets to his friends. I used to run into him and his lovely wife, Sandy, at the Ralph's in Studio City. We'd schmooze about old times. Genuine, loving human being. My deepest condolences to his family.

I too heard about Stu's passing and it brought up many many memories of the times his son, Casey spent hanging out with us on Oakdale. Casey, if you ever read this I want you to know how sorry I am for your loss and I hope you and your family are doing well. Everytime I go to a Kings game I think of you and hope you are doing great. I hope to see you again someday and share memories. Love, Tiger's little sister.

I have been looking for my old friend Casey Nahan,so I thought I would type Stu's name into the internet and I found out that Stu past away a few years ago.
I was Casey's good friend, we played Hockey together and Stu used to take Casey and myself to Dodger games and also to some of his live broadcasts with Eyewitness News.
I remember one day that Stu went on the ice with the LA Kings and Casey and I were there, well Cowboy Bill Fleet for the Kings was joking with Stu and told him to keep his head up, well the first shot that Bill Fleet took at Stu was too high and hit Stu in the mouth, Stu skated off the Ice and got stiches in his lip, he later went right back on the Ice, just like the Pro he was. Well that night Stu had to do the sports news and his lip was stiched up, I remember he told Casey and I not to say anything to his wife, Casey's mother. Well that night Casey and I,(Jeff Rosen) was watching the news with Casey's mom Pauline and she asked Casey and I what happened to Stu's lip today, well Casey and I didn't know what to say because Stu told us not to say a thing, so when Casey's mom demanded to know what happened to Stu's lip, we had to tell her that Stu was on the ice with the Kings at practice and he got a cut to his lip from a Slap Shot from Cowboy Bill Fleet, then we told Casey's mom that Stu told us not to say anything, but how could Casey and I hide the fact the Stu had stiches in his Lip and he was doing the News Report, so Casey's mom drilled us about what happened to Stu, then Casey and I had to tell Casey's mom that Stu said we were not to say anything about what happened to his lip, so after we told Casey's mom what happened we asked her not to say anything to Stu, but Casey's mother was relieved that we told her that Stu got Stiches practicing with the Kings and that he was feeling fine.
Thats just one moment I remember well living around the Nahan Family.
I really wish the Nahan Family my Sympathy, with the loss of Marcy years ago and the recent loss of Stu.
I would like to say Hello to my Ol' friend Casey, and I hope to see you again one day soon;
Your Close friend forever;

June, 2010: I was telling my wife the other day about a man I knew slightly when I worked at United Parcel in Los Angeles in 1952. He was a delivery driver, very friendly and made an impression on me. He was a part-time announcer and assistant manager of the Flying Wings, a basketball team of disabled veterans who played from wheelchairs. He was teased about this a lot, and told me that his goal was to be a professional sports announcer.
When he needed to move he sought my assistance to help him move, from an apartment off Rodeo Road, West of Crenshaw Boulevard. That was 53 years ago! I did help him, for which he repaid me with a dinner prepared by his wife.
I thought of him last week because I was watching a replay of a 1965 tennis match between Chris Evert and Evonne Goolagong.
In 1965 I was working as an IBM engineer in upstate New York and saw him on national television giving the sports news. In this he announced the tennis victory of "Evonne Goolagong. Goolagong? Evonne Goolagong?" Meaning he was ridiculing her odd name. As she went on to become an international star, I wondered later that he may have regretted making fun of her name. I told this simple story to my wife in seeing the old re-run, not knowing anything more of Stu. I couldn't even remember his name, that is, last week. But I couldn't get him out of my subconscious mind, because he did make such a good impression. They say that everything you have ever seen, ever heard, ever tasted, even ever smelled, has been recorded somewhere in your brain, awaiting the inevitable crossing of the neurons and synapses to bring it back to you vividly. So out of nowhere I told my wife, "Remember that guy who got a kick out of the Australian tennis player's odd name, Goolagong? I just remembered his name. It was Stu something or other."
Today I connected again and came up with Stu Nahan. I wondered what became of him, so I googled his name. I was saddened to learn he had died three years ago. I also learned that he had a rich and full career in television, in sports broadcasting and even in movies, and was recognized with a Star of Fame in Los Angeles. How nice for him.
Although I knew him only slightly, I recognized his quality and drive and remembered him most favorably. I hope I may have the same fate.

I just wanted let you folks know that as the Philadelphia Flyers compete for the Stanley Cup, I was remembering Stu as both Captain Philadelphia and for calling those early Flyers games. They were great memories of my youth. Thank you, Stu Nahan.

Here it is two years later and I just found this site. I lived the first 5 years of my life on the same street and grew up hearing fun stories about Stu Nahan. My dad even worked at Aerojet, I wonder if I saw him there. I always keep my eye out for him im movies with sportscasters. Thank you Mr. Nahan for entertaining us all.

Stu and his family moved next door to my parents in 1967 in Cherry Hill, NJ. The Captain Philadelphia show had ended and he was picked to be the Philadelphia Flyers original play-by-play announcer. His son Casey (my age) and I became good friends embracing this new thing in Philadelphia called hockey. Stu got Casey and I jobs selling Game Programs at the Cherry Hill Arena for the AHL Jersey Devils. It was great living next to the Nahans. They were always entertaining and had many of the Philadelphia Flyers stop over to visit. Stu always had interesting stories to tell about his sporting and broadcasting experiences. When he left the Flyers and moved back to California, my father and I always made sure to stop by the press box to say hello. He was a great man and surely he is missed by many.

I've thought of Stu often since 1956 when he was the radio announcer for the Modesto Reds baseball team. My Little League team was the city champions that year and Stu invited a friend and me to the radio booth for an interview about our season and all we could muster were a few yes' and no's so he had to carry the interview. In other words we froze. I also was a batboy for the Reds and was at the ball park almost every day as was Stu if he wasn't on the road with the team and he and I and others would play catch or take batting practice until we dropped, he loved baseball. I could tell he was a good man by the way he treated me and our friends!!!!

I am sorry, but did not know that this guest book existed. I remember Stu Nahan, because as a young child I appeared on Captain Philadelphia. I still have the autographed postcard ! I met him years later at a Flyers game and he was a very kind man, letting me share my memories of the show.
May God bless you and your family.

Last week I decided to come back to you to get some news. Thanks to internet and the popularity of Stu I just found this guest book to tell you all my sympathy for you and Stu. I hope you remember me: a young french girl met in Paris in West Side Story queue! I often think to our strange link we got all 4 of us with Pauline. You were special for us. I am so sorry to have waited so long to find you back. I would be so glad to exchange some News again between us.

I was the visiting team stick boy for the old Jersey Devils in Cherry Hill during the 67-68 season. I would see Stu around the arena all the time. We just got a new UHF box for our TV and were now able to watch the Flyers on TV. That's how I recognized him around the Cherry Hill Arena. He always had a moment to chat with me about the Devils, or how the Flyers were doing. It was a thrill to me, a dumb old 14 year old, to know that the "guy on TV" knew who I was by name. We moved away the following year but I had fond memories from those days in NJ each time I saw him on TV or in the movies. It was nice to know that I could say I knew him.

Stu was a family friend of ours for a long time. He played with my grandfather in Toronto and in LA for the Monarchs.
I grew up watching his sports reports on tv and loved every minute of it. I remember him at the Forum in the old days. He'd come to the games all dressed for the 11 o'clock news and leave right after the 2nd period to get to the studio.
We were lucky enough to get to see him receive his Star on the Walk of Fame and share many great memories of and with Stu.
We will miss seeing him at the Kings games and reading his 'take' on the team in the program.

Dear Nahan family,
We have not been "officially" introduced--but sitting behind Stu and the family at Kings games this year has been very heartwarming for my husband and I. He seemed to truly enjoy himself, and everyone around him, and it saddens us that we won't get to see that smile or hear him joke with the fans or his friends anymore. I will be doing a bike ride for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society next month, and would be honored to add Stu's name to my bracelet, and his picture to my collage of heroes who have battled these cancers and lost. It would be my way of honoring the memory of this special man. We are so sorry for your loss.

To the Nahan Family,
I remember Stu from 1966-67 when he lived in Haddonfield, NJ on Birdwood Ave. That was when he was doing the Philadelphia sports teams announcing and was the host of the local WKBS (Channel) 48 children's TV show - Captain Philadelphia. He is listed on the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia website, along with the likes of Mike Douglas and Tom Snyder.
Stu was a kind and friendly person. I remember when he drove me and his son K.C. to see a movie at the Westmont movie theatre when we were in 5th grade.
We will miss you.

I am saddened by your loss. I have fond childhood memories of this wonderful man. Know that there are many, many people who share your loss.
I grew up in Sacramento watching Skipper Stu. On Saturday mornings, after our ice skating lessons, we also watched Skipper Stu play ice hockey. Now THAT was neat! Imagine my delight when I first recognized his voice in the "Rocky" movies!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

To the Nahan Family:
It was my privilege and honor to know Stu Nahan for 27 years. I got to know him after having worked with his late daughter, Marcy, at the Forum in '75. Stu became very emotional when I first met him and told him of my recollections of Marcy.
Stu was an exemplary broadcaster but I'll always remember him as a passionate and compassionate person.
Stu was also well-known for his roles in motion pictures. He introduced Billy Dee Williams as Gale Sayers at an awards ceremony in "Brian's Song". Ironically, in my last connversation with Stu over a month ago, I updated him on my role as Executive Director of the Gale Sayers Center in Chicago.
Perhaps as memorable was Stu's interviewing skills with a young Sean Penn (as Jeff Spiccoli) in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". I have viewed that scene over and over again and never tire of it. Even though it was acting, the minute we see Stu on screen, it gets our attention and the ensuing interview is one for the ages.
We are all so fortunate to have watched and known Stu and are all saddened by his leaving us. But the memories and clips he has left us with will stay with us forever.
I'm blessed to have known Stu Nahan. May his family be comforted in this time of grief, knowing he brought so much to so many.

Stu was always the sports announcer our family turned to for the latest news. He was a professional, and he was able to inject just enough humor to be entertaining without trying to be a comedian. We had the pleasure of meeting Stu Nahan in person on one occasion, and he seemed genuinely appreciative of us approaching him to express our thanks for his good work. He was a class act, a masterful voice of sprts for all Los Angeles area sports fans.

wow i remember his voice. Welll my condolences go out to everyone! For friends and family another heart string has been riped from its place which i am sure has stopped your heart for now. But it has to start beating again soon though its rithim will never be as it was ans it still hurts, your heart will beat again. something that has helped me when i have lost some one close to me is to think of the hope that we all have that is found in the Bible, of the resurretion hope, john 5:28-29. the bible says that the earth will be a peaceful place at that time, my favorite discriptions of it, is found at psalms 37. I hope that these scripture may help you all to cope in the loss of this man.
